> Have links gone out of fashion?

Yes.

You wrote far more words than needed to answer the comment, I did it for you instead.

One of the reasons I write so much stuff is so I can provide links to things I've written to answer relevant questions.
And those of us with the sense to value your insight, and the attention-span to read more than tweet-sized content, thank you for it.
Thanks so much for your writings and for posting the link (and also for Datasette!). I've learned in the past few months from your blog.
Thank you, nice blog.
Appreciate it. Your posts in general have been great - accessible to a large audience, quality links to follow up research and catchy analogies even when they don't fully hold true (llm as a calculator for words - which I admit I use with citation!). Keep going.
Just to add that, we appreciate that very much.
I liked your link a lot.
"Links have gone out of fashion" is an odd thing to write on a Link Aggregator website.
You know you're responding to a programmer famous enough to have a Wikipedia page, right?

I don't pay the slightest fucking attention to who I'm responding to and take people on their merit/comment.

Should we all do the ad hominem thing? You are actually suggesting that?
